I don't think you really need to create a custom formatter for that.
All you need to do is to wrap the text paragraphs preceding the image
within a CSS class that applies 'position:absolute' (not
'position:relative', as you had suggested).

There are two ways in TiddlyWiki to do this very easily:

1) inline CSS, using this syntax:
   @@attribute:value;attribute:value;...content...@@

Thus, write in your tiddler:
   @@position:absolute;
   ... your text content goes here...
   @@[img[filename.jpg]]

2) custom CSS class wrapper, using this syntax:
   {{classname{...content...}}}

Thus, add to your [[StyleSheet]] (see more>shadowed tab in sidebar):
   .absolute { position:absolute; }
and write in your tiddler:
   {{absolute{
   ... your text content goes here...
   }}}[img[filename.jpg]]

enjoy,
